There is no need to amend the provisions of the anti-defection law as they have stood the test of time and judicial scrutiny, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju told the Rajya Sabha on Thursday.
In response to another query on whether the government was seeking to increase the retirement age of judges, Mr. Rijiju said there was no such proposal.
To a question about objectionable remarks by judicial officers or a judge, the Law Minister said “in-house mechanism” is sufficient to deal with such situations.
